26、 area.（4）Women who own cats are more likely to have mental health problems and kill themselves because they can be infected by a common parasite that can be caught from cat litter, a study has found.Researchers found women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite(刚地弓形虫), which is spr

27、ead through contact with cat waste or eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables, are at increased risk of attempting suicide.The study involved more than 45,000 women in Denmark. About a third of the worlds population is infected with the parasite, which hides in cells in the brain and muscles,

28、 often without producing symptoms. The infection, which is called toxoplasmosis(弓形虫病), has been linked to mental illness, such as schizophrenia(精神分裂症), and changes in behavior.The studys senior author Doctor Teodor Postolache, an associate professor of psychiatry(精神病学) at the University of Maryland

29、School of Medicine in the United States, said, “We cant say with certainty that T. gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves, but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that deserves additional studies.”Doctor Albert Reece, vice presiden

30、t of medical affairs at the University of Maryland, said, “T. gondii infection is a major public health problem around the world, and many people dont realize theyre infected.“Dr Postolache is a leading expert on suicide neuroimmunology(神经免疫学). Suicide is a critically important mental health issue.

31、About one million people commit suicide and another 10 million attempt suicide worldwide each year. We hope that this type of research will one day help us find ways to save many lives that now end too early in suicide.”Dr. Postolaches research team at the University of Maryland was the first to rep

32、ort a connection between T. gondii and suicidal behavior in 2009. He is cooperating with researchers in Denmark, Germany and Sweden to confirm and investigate the way leading to this association.The T. gondii parasite thrives in the intestines of cats, and it is spread through their waste. All warm-

33、blooded animals can become infected through contact with it. Humans can become infected by changing their infected cats litter boxes, eating unwashed vegetables, drinking water from a polluted source, or by eating undercooked or raw meat.Not washing kitchen knives after preparing raw meat before han

34、dling another food item also can lead to infection. Pregnant women can pass the parasite directly to their unborn babies and are advised not to change cat litter boxes to avoid possible infection.Babies dont produce antibodies to T. gondii for three months after they are born, so the antibodies pres

35、ent in their blood represented infection in the mothers. The scientists studied Danish health patients to determine if any of these women later attempted suicide, including cases of violent suicide attempts which may have involved guns, sharp instruments and jumping from high places.The study found

36、that women infected with T. gondii were one and a half times more likely to attempt suicide compared to those who were not infected, and the risk seemed to rise with increasing levels of the T. gondii antibodies.Dr. Postolache noted limitations to the study, such as the inability to determine the ca

37、use of the suicidal behavior.The findings were published online in the Archives of General Psychiatry.12. The common way which is more likely to be infected with the disease is _.A. to eat unwashed vegetables or undercooked meatB. to clean a place where a cat once lived for a timeC. to pass the infe

The result of the research may help the scientists to find ways to stop suicide in advance.C. The scientists will continue their research into the possible connection.D. The risk of being

40、 infected seems to rise with the decreasing levels of the antibodies.15.Which of the following statements would probably be the best title of the passage?A.
